help I need new CPU (probably)

[Versanu]

Hello there, I want to play games like Battlefront II and Anthem but my CPU is pretty outdated. I have Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz, GeForce GTX 1060 3GB and 8GB of RAM. I'm also using two monitors, one for playing and an old one for other stuff. The first monitor is 1080p at 60Hz but it would be nice to have an option for a future upgrade to a 144Hz one. What should I change here to make those games run better?

 

Edit: My socket is 1155 but I'm thinking about buying a new motherboard

This is still a decent CPU for gaming but if you do want a little more power look on Ebay for used i7 2600's or 3770's.

budget?

[Od1sseas]

GET i9 9900K+Z390 MOBO+300$ COOLER AND OVERCLOCK TO 5,2GHZ

 

Pff, say bugdet

[Versanu]

My budget is about 270 USD, but it's converted from my local currency so it may be different. For example here in Poland new core i7 6700 4GHz is about 350USD

A Ryzen 5 2600 and AsRock B450 Pro4, and 16GB of RAM. A more budget option would be an older Xeon

Buy a 3770 or 2600 in CEX in Poland.

Jak myślisz ile FPS bym wyciągnął z tego połączenia?

Not really, I'm not an experienced pc builder in any way. I just know something about Intel and almost nothing about AMD so it would be easier for me to have one from Intel

Why?

 

As I said you could always buy an older Xeon, or a 2600K/2700K/3770K

Dokładnie ci nie powiem, ale powinno się  znacząco poprawić. Masz o 4 wątki więcej do dyspozycji. Np. w CSGO powinieneś zobaczyć duży skok bo CS polega głównie na procku.

Almost nothing about what? Those are CPUs, the installation is exactly the same. Of course in case you have a question we can help any time

That's why Intel

Do you mean i7 2600K/2700K/3770K?

I'm new here and not really experienced

I didn't know that the installation was the same for example, and thanks

Yes. If you do go that route get 16GB of RAM too.

4 wątki więcej? Co masz na myśli bo nie łapię. Chodzi o rdzenie? Jestem tu nowy.

[Versanu]

I roughly know the difference between i3, i5, and i7 but what do the numbers afterward mean? The higher the number the better?

[Versanu]

I've checked and for both of those games, the recommended CPU is i7 6700K. Would it perform well in other scenarios?

Wątki to takie rdzenie logiczne. i5 nie ma technologi HT. i7 już ma. To znaczy że mimo że i7 też ma 4 rdzenie to ma 8 wątków. Po prostu ma tak jakby 2 rdzenie na każdy rdzeń.

Aaaa, rozumiem

[Versanu]

Is there an up to date LTT guide for choosing a CPU?

Jeśli chodzi o liczby przy procesorach, to oznaczają generację np. 8700K to 8ma generacja a 2600K to 2ga. Twoja płyta wspiera max. 3cią generację, ale ja bym ci radził wziąć tego i7 2600.
